T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant appear to be the choices of the Jacksonville Jaguars to serve as Leonard Fournette's running mates in the NFL team's backfield after the Jags released Chris Ivory on Friday.

Former Opelika High School and Auburn standout Corey Grant had more receiving yards in the first half of the AFC championship game on Sunday than he had in the entire 2017 regular season for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Running back Corey Grant isn't likely to line up with the Jacksonville Jaguars' offense more than a couple of times in Sunday's AFC championship game.But the New England Patriots have their eye on Grant as they take on the Jaguars for a spot in Super Bowl LII.

Across the NFL, the bets are in. With the Iron Bowl set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CST Saturday, the NFL alumni of Alabama and Auburn are looking forward to the rivalry game even as they prepare for their Sunday contests in Week 12 of the pro season.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant is the NFL's leading rusher after the first full week of the preseason. But to Grant, he's still the undrafted rookie from Auburn battling for a roster spot in the summer of 2015.
